Why italian underground scene died
--
When I read this article on Phrack some time ago, I was
quite skeptical and still quite optimistic for the future of our
little Italian reality. But then it was quite easy to realize
that, in a country having the lowest density of graduate people
in Europe, where research is treated as an expenditure, and not
as an investment, and research are worse paid then a generic
worker, and were trash television, trash press and trash wishes
for young people's future are THE reality, no underground scene
very different from a "trash web oriented" scene could take
place. There's been a period in which and underground scene was
real. The age of onda_quadra's team, or even earlier. The age in
which young boys still played with their real toys, without try-
ing to break into their friend's computer. That age has gone now,
our dear old friends are all married, workers and they can't
spend their time in a web were the average age in latest years
has drastically fallen. And why should we post our software or
papers on the net? To let a 13-year-old little boy rip them and
spread them around as belonging to him, without understanding a
single line? The underground scene can only be double linked to
the society it refers to. Moreover, the web is the mirror of the
society, the perfect place to analyze the health of the society
that meets itself on a web server, on a social network, on a fo-
rum. And if the society beyond a screen and a keyboard is deeply
ill, the web can just be ill too. This is the reason why Phrack
guys are right considering our country as a 'zombie scene', this
is the reason why we probably can never have again valid program-
mers or IT experts freely sharing their knowledge on the web. Why
should they?
See you around, BlackLight
